SAS not ASS

One of my favorite things during the dreadful unit of proofs is teaching the kids side-angle-side. It is the one time in the year that I get to cuss and get a pass. I have to explain to them that you can only have side-angle-side not angle-side-side. I tell them SAS not ASS...SASsy not ASSy...you can be a SAS-bag but not an ASS-bag. I could go on for days. (I usually stop with SAS not ASS though, there's no need to traumatize them!) It is one of the times throughout the year where they are all sitting doe-eyed, staring at me. I realize at that moment that I've truly got em'! I had a teacher in high school that said if you associate something you need to memorize with sex or money it will stick every time and I really believe that!...I tell myself that I am only cursing for the educational well-being of my kids!
